QUINCY, Ill.

The kickoff party to celebrate plans for the ninth annual St. Jude Quincy to Peoria Run will be at 6 p.m., Thursday, April 11, at the Tower Pizza & Mexican, 2635 Broadway, in Quincy, Ill.

Runners representing the Quincy and Hannibal region will show their support for the patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during the annual fund-raiser in August. The runners will begin their journey from Hannibal and Quincy on Friday, Aug. 2, and run relay-style until they reach Peoria on Saturday, Aug. 3. Upon arrival, the runners will join St. Jude runners from Memphis, Tenn., and other running groups to help kick off the 2013 St. Jude Telethon.
